ATA issue on 5.4

Sat Jul 23 02:06:32 GMT 2005

Greetings all.   I would appreciate any incite that you can give me with
this problem.

I am sure that you have visited this issue in the past, but I have been
unable to find a resolution.  The symptoms are

            ad1: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=10027551

            ad0: WARNING - removed from configuration

            ad1: WARNING - removed from configuration

            ata0-slave: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out

After these messages the machine is unusable until it is power cycled.

The machine can is described by dmesg below, but here is some history.  The
machine has been running FreeBSD 4.8 - 4.10 for the last several years with
two disks on the ATA0 controller. (ad0= Maxtor 51024H2 10GB, ad1=WD400BB
40GB)  

I finally decided it was time to move to 5.x release.  I also decided it was
time to upgrade the disks I used a Maxtor 20GB for ad0 and WD2500JB for ad1.
The Maxtor disk has been used before but the WD is brand new.  

The machine is a 733 MHz Compaq Deskpro EN (Intel 815e chipset with an ICH 2
ata controller).  I have turned off all power management functions in the
CMOS. I am currently running the GENERIC Kernel as taken from the 5.4 ISO
install.  I upgraded to p4 but it did not help my situation so I backed off.
I have searched high and low and have found a suggestion of adding a command
to the /boot/loader.conf to no avail.   I do not believe that the issue is
the ata controller, however, it could have to do with compatibility with the
250GB WD drive with FreeBSD.  I have not used the WD before but I have
tested it with Western Digital's Data Lifeguard Diagnostics as it was
installed in the box for both communication and media errors with no errors
found.

The issue seems to occur when the system has been idle for some time (an
hour or so).

Below is my dmesg output.  I do not want to reload 4.10 to have a working
system. 

 Thanks for the help.

Ray
